African Grass Blue

Zizeeria knysna

The Dark Grass Blue or African Grass Blue, is a species of blue butterfly found in Africa, on Cyprus and the Iberian Peninsula. Sometimes mistakenly called ''Zizeeria lysimon'' , that species name is invalid as it is preoccupied by ''Papilio lisimon'' Stoll, [1790], a butterfly in the family Riodinidae.

The wingspan is 18–23 mm for males and 21–26 mm for females. The butterfly flies nearly year round.
